Track It

How come even do this? It helps you plug in with your body. You'll

determine what your body needs, how particular foods affect you, that if you

do "A," then "B" will occur.

The food journal helps you to see advancement over time. As you wean
yourself off sugar, you might see healthier food selections, less fluctuating

eating times, and more favorable emotions. Looking back on the food diary

may be an encouragement in that sense. You might be astonished to see how

far you have come.

This step is hard for a few people. It's thought-provoking to work out and

face what we're feeling. We may feel guilty putting down everything we've

consumed. It's in reality pretty astonishing how much of ourselves we have
tied up in food!

All the same the food journal in this particular plan is not about good or bad.

There's no judgment demanded. You are merely recording data as

objectively as possible in order to help you determine connections between
what you consume and how you feel.

It's all about learning so you are able to arrive at favorable adjustments that

result in bettered health. The journal presents your body a voice.

Your body doesn't give a computer printout to tell you what's going on with

it; all the same it presents you clues in the form of symptoms that hint at the

greater picture. These symptoms will be uniform and predictable. You
simply have to learn to read them.
